How to choose the best bath taps for your bathroom

We take a look at what to consider when choosing new bath taps, whether you need bath shower mixer taps, something suitable for a small bath or want to include a rain shower

One of the first things you’re likely to consider when planning a new bathroom is the type of bath you want to complete your dream bathroom design, perhaps a large freestanding tub or a small bath for a compact space. But bath taps, bath shower mixer taps and complementary elements such as an over-bath rain shower, are just as important when it comes to finalising your scheme. Here’s what to keep in mind when making your choice…

Adding an over bath rain shower

Having a bath is a priority for many, even if it means choosing a small bath, whether that’s down to having young children, or for creating a relaxing place for your own wellbeing. Others might feel they need the ease of a rain shower for their morning routine. If space is at a premium and fitting in a separate shower and small bath isn’t a possibility, that doesn’t mean you have to choose between practicalities and luxury. You can have the best of both worlds and have a rain shower installed in the ceiling over the bath, providing your bathroom with the flexibility that you might need.

The benefits of a hand shower

Adding a hand shower to your bath is a practical move, providing you with added flexibility when it comes to taking care of your family’s needs – ideal if you have small children or pets, and incredibly handy when it comes to cleaning the tub. And it doesn’t have to be a purely practical choice – the Sensum collection of hand showers that come in a round or square design, offer four functions – Rain, NightRain, Tonic and Pulse – for a bespoke showering experience. Or there’s the Stella range, that has luxuriously designed round hand showers with up to three functions, or a sleek stick hand shower.

Filling the bath using built-in mixers

Wall mounted spouts are a great option and are controlled using a separate built-in mixer. There are many designs available to choose from, including the on-trend black and rose gold colourways from the Naia and Insignia collections, as well as the popular choice of chrome. An alternative to a spout is Roca’s Maxiflow where the bath filler is integrated into the overflow for a sleek, minimalist design.
